Kclotona lUtortu \A VOL. IX. NO. 23. KELOWNA BRITISH COLUMBIA. THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1917.-4 PAGES $1.50 Per Annum "Jarsey" Goes for a Swim The aquatic adventures of Messrs. Casorso Bros.' well-known Percheron stallion "Jarsey," created a brief excitement Saturday on the wharf. The animal was to be shipped to Penticton via the s.s. Sicamous, and he was being taken over the gangway on to the boat. He was, apparently, an unwilling traveller, and strongly resisted all attempts to persuade him to cross the narrow gangway on to the boat. After several trials he was blindfolded and with some difficulty induced to make a few steps forward on the gangway. In his struggles, however, he missed his footing and breaking through the side-rail dropped into the lake between the boat and the wharf. He started to swim out but scared perhaps by the crowd he went round the boat. When he reached the freight entrance on the far side he made an unsuccessful attempt to board the boat there, but rolled backward and Went under. For a time it was feared he would be lost but finally he .got his head up again and swam round the stern of the boat, getting ashore behind the Growers' Exchange feed warehouse. He was much exhausted with his unusual exercise, but fortunately not much the worse. No further attempt was made to get him aboard that day and he was taken back to his stable where he was given a good rubbing down. , Tuesday he and his equally handsome son were londed into a car and made the journey by barge. "Jarsey" is*a valuable pedigreed animal imported from France, and ' his drowning would have meant the loss of some fifteen hundred dollars to his owners. Gen. von Bissing, German gov. ernor-general in Belgium died U st Wednesday. His Lordship Bishop De Pencier, who has long been absent in France with the Canadian troopa, arrived in Halifax Friday. It is officially announced that the American navy is "rapidly taking over the patrol which the British and French vessels established on the American coast." Some five thousond or more coyote skins have been shipped out of Ashcroft this winter, the bounty on which alone amounted to $15,000. The new government in Russia will not negotiate a separate peace for Russia as a result of overtures that have been made by German and Austrian Socialist representatives, according to information reaching Washington. Serious rioting took place in Constantinople last week on the occasion of the return of a detachment of wounded soldiers from the Mesopotamian front. A mob as- ' sembled around the military hos pital, hissing the German officers, throwing missiles through the windows, and clamoring for food. Two German destroyers were sunk, and a third possibly destroyed when the enemy's vessels attempted to raid Dover, the admiralty announced Saturday. Five German destroyers attempted the raid, Two British patrol ships attacked. The fight ensuing lasted only'five minutes. Premier Brewster has promised that he will lose no time in appointing a judicial commission to enquire into the serious charge brought against the attorney general by J.'S. Cowper, a liberal- member for Vancouver. Cowper charged that the night before election a representative of the Canadian Northern Railway deposited $15,000 in the safe of the Hotel Vancouver for the liberal campaign fund which was called for by Hon. M. A. Macdonald-. Y.M.C.A.

The front appeared for a moment to be the soeie of a raging snow blizzard. French artillery and aviatn observers, watching activities behind ths1 German lines through powerful field glasses from observation posts in trees and eaptive baloons, reported that the shower of pamphlets caused a great commotion behind the German lines. Soldiers srramblsd out of the dug-outs, grabbed copies, and hastily darted baok out oi range of tha French guns and snipers, Copies in German were put into the hands of every German soldier or civilian prisoner in France. Ths distribution was quiokly completed, and reports from the camps show that the pamphlets created a proloundirapres- sion.

Nurses will participate in th* grant upon the BIRTHS MARTIN-On Friday, April 20th, to the wife of F. A. Martin, a son. MOUBRAY���On Thursday, April 19th, to the wife of G. H. Moubray (nee Stocks), of Glenmore, ��� son. who for the past two years had charge of Y.M.C.A. military service work in the shelled area in Fiance told a thrilling story of British pluck i ,^ tenacity and organization which' had gradually turned the tide of war against the mighty German force, and from a contemptible little army ill-equipped with fighting material had developed a terrific fighting force which was now begining to overwhelm the enemy, and would before long result in a victory for Democracy against unscrupulous militarism and autocratic domination. The occasion was the beginning of a campaign to stimulate interest in the splendid work which is being done by the Y.M.C.A. amongst the boys who are bearing the unspeakable hardships of trench lite. Luncheon was served at 12.30 and after this function had been disposed of Mayor Sutherland who acted as chairman briefly introduced the Capt. who was enthusiastically received. He has a most entertaining gift of narration and from beginning to end ojf his address he held the wrapt attention of his hearers. His story commenced with the with the landing of the first small British contingent, which though lacking nothing in the traditional qualities of the British Army, was almost overwhelmingly out-numbered, and due to England's unprepared condition had what now seems an almost insignificant equipment of guns and shells with which to meet the onrushing Germans. Amid discouragement and disaster however, they held on grimly until the Empire could abjust itself to the calamity which had befallen the world, and send them' not only reinforcements bul artillery large enough and numerous enough to adequately meet the situation, until at present the Allied power in guns and shells was as more than ten to one of that of the enemy. The same situation presented itself in regard to aircraft, the British and French having now gained ascendency in the air. So much was this the case that many men have been months in the trenches without having seen a German aeroplane, while thousands ot the Allie's machines thronged the air, and maintained a regular and effective patrol ofthe lines. In addition to this, companies of Allie's aircraft passed daily over thi enemy's lines, taking photographs and directing the fire of the heavy guns. The present successes of the allies were not due to any offensive or" drive," but were rather the cumulative effort of over two years of solid preparation both at home and in France. The vast achievements of the navy in keeping open the seas, and of the contingents from Canada and other parts of the empire, the forn er alone greater than the whole British army of the first few months, were also sketched. Capt. Pearson told of the organizing of the military service branch of the Y.M.C.A., and its endorse- tion by the British government and of Lord Kitchener himself. It had done a wonderful work in helping and sustaining the soldiers under their terrible trials and in ministering to their comfort and recreation. In conclusion Capt. Pearson foreshadowed aome of the serious problems which would face the country upon the conclusion of the war, when the soldiers, fresh from the terrible life of the trenches, would be coming home. Mr. E. C. Weddellfin proposing a vote of thanks to Capt. Pearson, gave further information concerning the work of the Y.M.C.A. in France, and urged that every possible encouragement and assistance be given to the movement. In the evening Capt. Pearson addressed a mass meeting in Knox Various Competitions - Officers Elected , ��� _, . . i The organization meeting of the oame term, as soUhers. The grant in, ] b .

H. J. Williams, who went over with the rest of the Kelowna boys last fall, but who owing lo continued ill-health has never been able to get to the front. He was unfortunate enough to contract measles which was epidemic amongst the men for a time, and suffered severely. Later he sustained an injury while engaged in bayonet drill. His death however was due to pneumonia. Mr. Williams came to Kelowna some four or five years ago from Danville, Quebec, where he was for a considerable time superintendent of the asbestos mines. He was a son-in-law of Mr. J. C.Stock- well, and leaves a wife and four young children. Private Barlee Killed in Action Pte. Roland Finch-Hatton Barlee- eldest son of Lieut, and Mrs. W. R- Barlee, of Kelowna, has been added to the list of "Killed in action" during the week. Pte. Barlee, who was onlv ninteen years of age, was born and lived practicaly the whole of hia life in the Kelowna district. He went overseas last fall, only a short time after his father, who had seen service with the first contingent, was invalided home. Lieut, Barlee is now with the B. C. Horse in Vernon. church which was filled with one of the largest congregations ever seen in that building, and all listened with the closest attention while he drew vivid pictures of the scenes which are being enacted in the battlefields of France, He conveyed in a manner which no cold press despatch could do living picture of the horror and pathos of the first retreat from Ypres, before the unexpected early gas attacks, when soldiers and civilians, old men and women and young children, transport trucks and guns, struggled along the narrow lane which afforded the sole means of escape. He alao told of the manner in which the Y.M.C.A. organization had been used to act as a medium between the love and anxiety of those at home and the men at the front, surrounded aa they were by physical dangers and disci mforts, and still greater moral pitfalls. The tents and shelters of the Y.M.C.A. were amongst the bright spots in that terrible country, and the greatest blessings to the men at the front. , Mr. Estabrook, national secretary, who has had charge of ar- arrangements for thc visit, supplemented the captain's address by a brief outline of what was involved in the carrying on of the work of the Y.M.C.A. at the front and the need of keeping it up to the highest degree of efficiency. Though not directly appealing for funds an opportunity would be given, he said, to Kelowna people to contribute to the support of the movement, and for that purpose the local committee had made arrangements for a rapid canvass of the city. After the meeting there were seversl who volunteered to carry out the suggested canvass, and it is understood that their efforts are meeting with success. Th. canvass is to be continued until Fridaj evening. Mr. W. A. Scott, of Benvoulin, received a wire during the week that his son, Clifford who is in prance, had maintained a slight gunshot wound in the hand. ' The numbers of strikers in Berlin is placed, even in the semi-official report, at 136,000, and is distributed, according to the TageWatt, through mach ne works, electrical establishments, and part ol the munition plants. A strike has also broken out amongst the Polish munition workers in Warsaw. ...Nearly 6,000 laborers to work on farms in western Canada are reported to havo been secured hv ths United States up to last Saturday as a result of the campaign conducted by the Dominion government and the governments of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Several fruit growers' organisations have asked retail merchants' associations in Western Canada to exert influence to have ths entry of foreign fruits into Canada during the Canadian fruit season prohibited. Negotiations with the federal government relative to the proposal have been started.. were elected and further details arranged. Thirty - one members from town nnd country have joined the club and the officers elected by them were: Quentin Fallis, president, sec.-treas., Tom Taylor, whilst Mr. W. Mitchell is club organizer. The two departmental competitions selected are potatoe growing and poultry raising. In the potatoe growing there are six positive entries and five more wish to enter if land can be procured for them. Mr. Mitchell is very anxious that as many competitors as possi- |ble take part in this competition, and as the potatoe plots must be one-tenth of an acre in area, he wishes to hear from someone who has land suitable for potatoes in a central part of Kelowna, which they would lend or rent to help out this competition. There are eight entries in the poultry competition and ihe breed selected is White Wyandottes. The organizing committee have in view the following competitions for the year���manual training, collection of vegetables,noxious weeds (mounted), noxious weeds (seeds), canning and preserving, garment making, cookery, photography and essay, in addition to which it is proposed to have school collections of sewing, school handwork and school collections of flowers and vegetables. It is intended that all these exhibits shall be shown at the iall fair. Friends have already promised prizes for three of these competitions and the committee hope that any others who are interested in this movement and would like to give special piizes will notify Mr. Mitchell or Mr. Dalglish at once so that the competition can be properly'arranged and a leaflet of rules, 6tc, distributed within the next fortnight. The rules for the department potato competition are briefly: Plots to be exactly one-tenth of an acre; one variety to be grown bv alii each competitor to do all the work himself, except that the girls and younger boys may be assisted with heavy work such as ploughing, &c. " The rules for the poultry compe-J tition are: Competitors to raise chickens of the same breed (white Wyandottes chosen); the eggs to be set under a hen and not more and not less than 13 eggs shall be set. Eggs can be procured for competitors to cost not more than 50c per setting, ^^^^^^^^^^ Further applications to join in these two competitions can be taken if handed at once to Quentin Fallis, Tom Taylor, or Mr. W. C. Mitchell, or Mr. R.L. Dalglish, and it is hoped that many others will join the club to make it the biggest in the valley, whether they intend to go in for these two competitions or for the others which are being arranged ^^^^^^^^^ Any boy or girl from 10 to 17 years may join, and the membership fee for the year is 25 cents, payable to Tom Taylor, sec.-treas. The military hospitals commission how under its care. The convalescent hospitals alone have 3,364 patients, of whom 1,997 have been overseas. Over Canadian soldiers in uniform will not in future be allowed ' to enter the United States.

DUTIES : Orderly patrol for week, Beavers; next for duty, Curlews, v PARADES: The combined troop will parade at the club room on Wednesday, 2nd of May at 7.15 p.rh. at the exhibition building on Friday the 4th of May at the same time, and at the club room on Saturday the 5th of May at 2.30 p.m. Every scout must have his staff at each of these parades and full uniform ia compulsory on Saturday. A scout wearing his uniform neatly at any parade is en- titled to 3 points for neatness, as well as points for attendance and conduct. Patrol leaders will please ascertain at once what equipment in the way of uniforms, billycans etc., is required by any scout in their patrols and hand in a lift to the scoutmaster. The annual troop photo graph will be taken at either the above Saturday parade or the Saturday following As our total roll is only 28 we cannot afford to have any absentees. There waa a time when as a tro.op we had a good name for punctuality, but we are afraid that excellent attribute is becoming one ol our past glories. We have a lot f work to do for the concert, 'liich we must make a success, nd it is our aim to do all of this work with the least possible interference with school studies. In addition to the above parades we must have some singing rehearsals, but if you (each of you individually) will make a point of being punctual at each rehearsal, give close attention and put some vim and energy in > our work while there, we are sure that you can make a success of both your scouting work and your studies. Do not make one good thing an excuse for not doing another good thing or doing both of them half-heartedly, which is so often done. Be honeat with yourselves, and if it is a sacrifice lor any of you to give up some other amusements for the concert or scouting���and there is some thing wrong with you or the troop if that is so - we ask you to make that sacrifice up to the concert at any rate. After the concert let us then find out what ia wrong. When a parade is called for 7.15 let us be able to commence work at that time, and not have different acouta come straggling in for half-atl-hour alter that. Then when the parade is over make a bee-line for home at scout's pace. Punctuality ia an absolute essentiality for success in any walk of life, and many a man owes hia present place at the bottom rung of the ladder, or half way up, when he might have been al the ti p, to the simple, catching and common fault of unpunctuality. It is most pleasing to know when an appointment ia made with any one that it will be kept promptly, and nothing is more indicative ol what a troop of boy acouta really are than punctuality. By it we know whether a troop ia a bunch of luke warm, half-hearted boya with aome slackers mixed in, or a bunch of keen, alert, amart, and loyal scouts, who will make the aame kind of men to-morrow. We are not writing this for the sake of filling up space, but we earnestly wish each individual acout in the troop to carefully read this and apply it to himself, because it is needed in the troop now, and badly. If we are able to arrange for the Concert on two nights, we shall have it on the 17th and 18th of May. The ticketa will be given out for sale on Friday the I Ith of Mav, and will be the uaual price of 50c for adults, and 25c for children. Who ia going to win the prize for selling the moat thia year? Last year the following four headed the list in the order named - R. Keller, J. Groves, J. Calder and C." Rowcliffe. Patrol leadera who wish to have aeparate patrol meetings will have time given them for thia purpose at the regular troop paradea up to the conceit.

Mm |_B��rruE SYNDICATe'll "1.M| ONCE upon a time when you were going to school you may have read these words: " Tea, Coffee and Cocoa, from which we make such pleasant drinks, are all of them some part of a plant." Last week we had a word to say about Tea. This week let us say about coffee that there are many brands in many cans. Some are whole, some ground, some pulverized, some "other ized,"some good and some in-, different. However, let us say this: if you want good Coffee, pure Coffee, unadulterated Coffee, why not buy our own blend which we grind in our electric machine from freshly-roasted coffee beans > The aroma is there, the flavor is there, the strength is there.

The fact is also emphasized that all butter in such packages must be of the full net weight of sixteen ounces, snd in default of same s fine of from $10 to $30 for each offence is imposed. Whey butter must be eo labelled even when mixed with dairy butter, snd dairy butter retains its label though it be mixed with the creamery product. You can be supplied with neatly - printed wrappers for your butter at the Kelowna Record Office, for the following prices: 100MTKar��$1.50 200 500 1000 ����� 2.00 3.15 4.50 These prices include Both the Paper, which is the best obtainable for the purpose, and the Printing of same. Please note this. Owing to the extraordinary rise in the price of butter parchment (which has gone up over 100 per cent) we have been reluctantly obliged to raise our prices slightly. Nearly all this paper was previously manufactured in Belgium, and needless to say thia supply has been entirely cut off. Unfortunately there is no guarantee against further increases, indeed, they are more than likely. Kelowna Record
